[Asia Economy Reporter Han Yeju] LG Electronics announced on the 8th that it will launch three types of premium wireless earphones, 'LG Tone Free,' on the 29th.

The flagship model, TONE-UT90Q, supports 'Dolby Headtracking' regardless of the connected device or the type of content being played. Dolby Headtracking technology adjusts the perceived distance and direction of sound according to the user's head movements, providing an immersive experience as if you are right in the middle of the scene. For example, when you turn your head to the left, the volume in the left earphone decreases while the volume in the right earphone increases, creating a sense of spatial depth.

The size of the speaker driver inside the earphones has been increased by about 38% compared to the previous model, delivering rich bass. Equipped with three microphones that reduce ambient noise and a voice pickup unit that detects sounds transmitted through the bones and muscles of the face, it can distinguish between unnecessary noises and the user's voice, allowing clear voice transmission to the other party.

It also supports Qualcomm's high-quality wireless Bluetooth audio solution, Snapdragon Sound. Users can enjoy ▲high-quality audio up to 24bit/96kHz ▲clear voice call quality ▲and a low-latency mode optimized for gaming.

Along with this, LG Electronics is also introducing the 'LG Tone Free Fit (TONE-UTF7Q),' optimized for customers who enjoy sports, featuring a comfortable fit and functions. This product eliminates the stem, which acts as the earphone's pillar, and applies a wing-shaped support designed to follow the shape of the ear. It stays securely in the ear during exercise and is comfortable for long-term wear.

The new product is equipped with enhanced hygiene management functions compared to the previous model. When customers place the earphones in the case for just 10 minutes, the UV LED sterilizes 99.9% of harmful bacteria such as E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and pneumonia bacteria, not only inside the ear gels but throughout the entire earphone.

The retail prices are 279,000 KRW for the TONE-UT90Q, 189,000 KRW for the TONE-UT60Q, and 229,000 KRW for the TONE-UTF7Q, depending on the product specifications.
